DNA testing challenges a preacher’s adult son, and newly revealed infidelity stresses family relationships. How does a man cope with learning that his father wasn’t who he thought it was? Author Jasper S. Lee has developed an interest in genealogy and family history in recent years thanks to the discovery of family artifacts dating from the 1840s in the family plantation home. Now he investigates many angles while determining how Bobby Lee Pennington is biologically related to his other family members. Was he a son, cousin, uncle, brother, or something else? Unfortunately, all of Bobby Lee’s ancestors are deceased, so there is no way of obtaining a DNA sample for confirmation. The result leaves him with an interesting and unsettled relationship with the man he had called Daddy—as well as an unclear connection to relatives he didn’t know he had. Presenting a true story built on a foundation of genealogical research, this narrative of family history explores the relationships resulting from an unexpected result of a DNA test.
It is Easter 1863 and fifteen-year-old Ellen Loretta Shepard is terrified she will be violated by one of the Union soldiers marching through her family’s Mississippi cotton plantation while on their way to battle. When they hear word that troops are approaching, the family members busy themselves hiding their valuables. A day later, the troops arrive and create havoc, but thankfully do not burn the plantation or violate Ellen or her sisters. As the Civil War rages on, Ellen matures into a beautiful young woman who has now reached the age where she wishes to marry an honest and loving man. Unfortunately, good men are in short supply, and the ones she finds are more than twice her age and deemed unacceptable by her family. When she meets the charismatic Jasper Lee at a church event, Ellen eventually marries him, despite her father’s objections. But when he dies just six years later, Ellen is left to defend the estate he left her and raise their only son. Will she somehow find a way to move on and realize happiness once again? In this novel based on true events, a young woman experiences romance, hardships, and forgiveness while living in the Deep South during the mid-to-late nineteenth century.
Tragedy and trauma often create human hardship. Such is the case for Jasper Henry Lee. Born in Mississippi in 1910 and known to his friends and family as Henry, he loses his right arm in a farming accident in 1943, an event that changes his life forever. The views and attitudes of his family, the medical community, farmers, and others on his state as an amputee affect his health both physically and mentally. A few people believe Henry is no longer a complete man capable of operating a farm—responses that strike a blow to his self-confidence. From early childhood, he has been raised as the only male heir to the plantation; it is his duty to continue the farm and build success. What Henry has, however, is an old, somewhat dilapidated plantation that barely survived the hardships of the Civil War, the Great Depression, and, of course, the arrival of the cotton boll weevil. In spite of this, the Lee farm holds history and potential. Can Henry adapt to changing times and new technologies in order to keep his family’s dream alive? This biographical novel tells the story of one man’s adjustment after a tragic accident and how the love and commitment in his marriage kept him going in the face of adversity.
